The future will change us but not our goals. The nature of our work, and the nature of the kind of people who make that work possible, will keep us working hard to alleviate the suffering of creatures that didn’t deserve their fate, and to find a home for them with loving people. We believe in second chances. No matter how large we become, in a real sense we will always be “the small shelter that makes a big difference.” Learn more about Maxfund.

The Rose Andom Center improves the lives of domestic violence victims by facilitating better access to services and staff of community organizations and government agencies in a single, safe location. The Rose Andom Center is named in honor of successful Denver entrepreneur and former McDonald’s franchise owner, Rose Andom, and her lead gift of $1 million. As a child in Oklahoma, Rose witnessed domestic violence perpetrated by her father against her mother. The increasingly aggressive assaults led to the mother and her children moving to live with relatives. Rose’s mother supported her family with various jobs, and her focus was unrelentingly on the importance of education – her goal was a high school diploma for each of her children. Despite the disadvantages faced by Rose Andom, she became the first person in her family to attend college and went on to earn her BA and MBA. In 1981, Rose began working for the McDonald’s Corporation where she spent a long and successful career. Read more about the Rose Andom Center.
